Clay andCraft

Clay and Craft is a pottery studio tucked behind the Town Hall in Cowbridge, occupying The Old Institute on Town Hall Square. It runs wheel-throwing and hand-building classes for adults and children, along with fine-glazing sessions, birthday parties and drop-in paint-a-pot work. Courses run from beginner tasters through to longer blocks for people developing their own practice, and the studio keeps wheels, kilns and glazing facilities on site so makers can take a piece through from raw clay to finished ware. It sits within walking distance of the town's independent shops, cafes and the main car park. The emphasis is on hands-on making rather than retail, and it is a single, owner-run space rather than part of a chain. Sessions are bookable in advance, with class sizes kept small enough for individual guidance at the wheel.
